Susan Chambers
Compassionate, practical support for difficult times
About Susan
Susan Chambers offers calm, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and major life changes. She uses clear, straightforward language and aims to make sessions feel approachable and manageable for someone taking their first step towards change. Susan draws on four years of professional experience and holds BACP, which stands for the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She focuses on helping people deal with grief, low self-esteem, depression and addictions in everyday terms.
Background and approach
She also helps with career concerns, anger, relationship or intimacy-related issues, and coping with life transitions. Her approach is client-centred, which means conversations follow the person’s pace and priorities. Trauma-focused methods are used when past hurt needs careful attention.
Together these approaches help people name what’s painful and discover what might help next. Susan commonly supports people working through abandonment, attachment or dependent personality issues, codependency and caregiver stress. She also addresses dissociation, domestic violence, drug and alcohol addiction, guilt, shame and feelings of emptiness or isolation.
Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Susan helps people set small, realistic goals and find everyday strategies that fit their life. She invites clients to talk through what matters most and to test different ways of coping until something feels more helpful.

Approaches for online work and what they involve
Susan uses client-centred work, which focuses on listening, reflecting and following the person’s priorities. This approach helps people clarify what matters, feel heard, and set small achievable goals to change day-to-day patterns.She also uses trauma-focused therapy when past events continue to affect current moods and relationships. That approach helps people identify how specific memories or experiences shape feelings and reactions, and then practice ways to reduce their ongoing impact.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels manageable, and then agree a plan that can change over time. This collaborative process aims to match methods to the person rather than force a single technique.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging works well for quick updates or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, while keeping the focus on steady progress.
